Ethan's First Doctor visit
Wednesday, 4 days old
Ethan had his first doctor visit today. Our ped has a very small office which is his own practice. We filled out paper work, got weighed and talked with the doctor. Dr. Eggen is very nice and not as stiff as some of the other doctors we visited with prior to Ethan being born. He uses the weight charts as guides and not absolutes, so the weight Ethan lost in the hospital did not bother him at all (8lbs 3oz at birth, 7 lbs 7 oz at discharge). He is very supportive of breastfeeding and, with the exception of tetanus shots, he will honor our request to delay vaccines. He has some strange mannerisms, but overall Erich and I both like him as a doctor for Ethan. We will be back on Friday for a brief weight check per the doctors orders.
